Love is Letting Go of Fear>>> continued

Hello all, and now to continue where we left off yesterday. We all, to a degree create our own distortions of seeing, hearing and experiencing love within ourselves and others. This self created distortion is our way of retaining an old belief system, even though it does not produce what we truly want. It is more so intact, because it is what we know, and has become entrenched in our thinking.
Let us look at how our mind has worked. It can be said that the mind works as an old movie projector; as such it holds thousand of reels of past experiences. Now depending on the triggers and the circumstances, these images (past experiences) get superimposed over people and events happening in the present. Thus we never truly experience the present and those in it as it is, we perceive it through tons of old memories that we layer over the actual present. To truly experience the present. We must consciously wipe away all that is past from what we are experiencing except love. This requires willingness and courage, to let go of past attachments of guilt, shame and fear.
It also requires a determined effort to stay in the now. We seem to put more effort into predicting and controlling the future and the present than in to experiencing “Peace of Mind”. We are stuck in a pattern of predicting the pain that will happen, and take pleasure in our prediction, as opposed to finding true happiness in the moment. We do this as a means of protecting self and remaining safe. Thus creating a short circuit that confuses pleasure with pain. It is an insane way of protecting ourselves, which really has kept us from true happiness.
This mindset produces the belief that the fears of the past can accurately predict the fears of the future. Producing a mindset spent mostly in the worries of the past or in the worries of tomorrow, leaving little or no room for enjoyment of Love and Joy in the present.
However thanks to the gift of freewill, we can essentially create our own reality. With this we can choose to see the truth. We can experience love as the truth of our reality. We have to refuse to be limited by the fears of the past and/or future, or by possible “realities” that have adopted from society. We make a conscious effort to live in the only true reality there is, the now.
Seeing that are minds are limitless and without boundaries, in fact the only limits on our minds is the ones we place on them. When we choose value on a past fear we limit our mind to seeing a fearful past as a reality. Thus limiting the actual reality and further limiting our minds as perceiving the future with fear. This incapacitates the ability to pause and experience the present in peace and contentment. When we use words such as “can’t, impossible,” we impose the limits of a fearful past upon ourselves, as such we self impose limits on our futures and possibilities.
